What is the Unsafe School Choice Option in No Child Left Behind?
The Unsafe School Choice Option provision of No Child Left Behind requires that each state receiving funds under NCLB establish and implement a statewide policy requiring that students attending a persistently dangerous public elementary or secondary school, or students who become victims of a violent criminal offense while in or on the grounds of a public school that they attend, be allowed to attend a safe public school. More learning can take place in classrooms where students feel safe.
